The Pali verses of the Vessantra Jātaka story explain the perfections of Prince Wetsandòn at the Siphi (kingdom). He donated a large amount of possessions until he was expelled out of the city altogether with his wife named Matsi, his son Chali and his daughter Kanha. Then a Brahmin named Chuchok requested his two children as servants. However, God Indra, in disguise, asked for his wife to rescue her. Later, Prince Wetsandòn eventually went back to rule Siphi.
